If we knew that we'd be reincarnated upon death as a random new baby in the world, how would that change human behavior? * > emphasis on global equality of opportunity * > multi-generational planning * < value on long-term care/rehabilitation * < value on life, death = restart

4 might lead to respawning whenever you don't feel like something appeals to you instead of fixing it

You have to start back from the beginning though. But, if you're 20 years old, sentenced to life in prison, respawning would be pretty appealing vs the alternative. Would also save society a fortune on keeping you imprisoned.

I'm thinking more in the direction of twitter.com/brucefenton/st As soon as you have get to know that you have options and realize that you spawned in an underdeveloped place you'd attempt re-spawning. Then there might be a queue for first world (whatever that may be) destinations.

The odds of a random baby in the world being extremely poor are really high. We still have about a billion people who live on less than a dollar a day and a billion people who don’t have a toilet or clean water. It’s staggering.

Would there be any underdeveloped places if everybody did this?
